Product Description
Once again, Anna Van Dijk has created a startlingly different goats milk cheese. The base of this new cheese is a younger version of one of our favorites, Van Dijk, a tangy aged goat cheese. Made from the milk from her herd of 500 goats in Eindhoven, Holland, Anna has added a unique ingredient marigold to this great cheese. Like Cornelia, Anna has achieved the perfect balance of flavors in her new concoction Marygold. Marigold, also known as calendula or pot marigold, was a popular ingredient throughout medieval and renaissance Europe. In Holland, according to Gerards Herbal, no broths are made well without dried marigolds. Marigold gives color and a piquant touch to cheese, soups and stews. In fact, the petals were used to color cheese until annatto was introduced from America. The presence of marigold not only gives a slightly floral hint that compliments the flavor of the cheese, but also creates a distinctive presentation with the creamy white color of the cheese sprinkled with orange and yellow flecks of petals. A must try for any lover of Dorothea or Van Dijk. Made from pasteurized goat's milk, aged over 60 days.
